New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Crowthorne
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you are worried about underlay at the eaves left exposed and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Plenty of homes in a town like Crowthorne have been extended over the years, and many of those additions have flat roofs. Where an extension roof meets the main house is a classic place for water to get in. For a home you’re buying in Crowthorne, or a roof just finished there, those joints get a careful look.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Roof by roof
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point, so we check them closely.
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter to carry water off. We look at it where it can be seen.
Before and after the survey
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Crowthorne
Do you carry out roof surveys in Crowthorne?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is there anything to prepare before you come to Crowthorne?
Clear the way to the loft hatch if there is one, and let us know about any leaks, stains or past repairs. Let us know about parking and access in Crowthorne too.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How do I book a survey in Crowthorne?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.

What else we do in Crowthorne
Landlord and commercial surveys in Crowthorne
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
How the survey works
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. For a home in Crowthorne, the main things we need are a way into the loft, a route to the back garden and somewhere to park. If you won’t be there yourself, let us know who will let us in.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a report with photographs of each snag.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Getting a price
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

What new roof snagging looks like in Crowthorne
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For an older house near a landmark such as Crowthorne Methodist Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. Landlords with a home close to Crowthorne station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Blocked gutters and downpipes on homes in Crowthorne overflow onto walls, and damp follows inside. A slipped tile or worn flashing does the same higher up. Neither gets better on its own.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

When you need someone else
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
